Pirate Books

Today we will look at 3 books that have related content about pirates.

The first is Not So Jolly Roger, a story about 3 young boys who have the ability to travel in time.  Only this time, they run into the meanest, nastiest pirate around, Blackbeard.  This story is a quick chapter book that is great for young readers and a must have for those boys in your class who do not like to read.

The second book is Pirate Diary: the Journal of Jake Carpenter, a story about a young boy from North Carolina who goes on board a ship with his uncle.  There he is shown the ropes of a pirate ship.  This book is very detailed including the graphic nature of the treatment of people on a pirate ship.

The third book is What If You Met A Pirate.  This book is a information book laid out that is very appealing to kids.  This book contains information about the weapons, the ships, sailing and other various pirate related information.  I really enjoy this text  because it included graphics, diagrams and illustrations while maintaining all the information.  I believe students will enjoy this layout more than the typical layout of a textbook.
